I'm putting away my working clothes for the weekend
I ain't gonna do that job no more
I'm tired of being used and mistreated
So tired of feeling walked on like a floor
(Come on, have a go if you think you're hard enough)
This time I think I'm going to lose my mind
Can't take it, take it, take it no more
I've only got the one life to live
But the time, oh, it seems so short
So short, yeah
(Come on, have a go if you think you're hard enough)
I'm working in the church yard every morning
Yeah, bonediggin' will be the death of me
In the red hot sun and the rain and hailstones
I'm just diggin' (diggin', diggin'), yeah, diggin' to be free
(Come on, have a go if you think you're hard enough)
This time I think I'm going to lose my mind
Can't take it, take it, take it no more
I've only got the one life to live
But the time, oh, it seems so short
So short, yeah
(Come on, have a go if you think you're hard enough)
You say I'm not worth my meager wages
You put me down and treat me like a dog
Some day soon this poor boy will get even, yeah
Some day soon, Mr. Bossman, you have to pay
(Come on, have a go if you think you're hard enough)
This time I think I'm going to lose my mind
Can't take it, take it, take it no more
I've only got the one life to live
But the time, oh, it seems so short
So short, yeah
I'm putting away my working clothes for the weekend
(Come on, have a go if you think you're hard enough)
